Bloody Argies!!
How does an Englishman choose between Argentina and Germany??? :dozey:
I'd not be surprised if we lose it 0-1. (probably Messi's only successful move of the game - that's how the Argies got to the semis in the first place) Whenever Germany plays well, we lose the final (66, 72, 92) :s We normally win when we play shit (90,96). But fuck it at least the Dutch are out...
Easy. To quote from Skinner, Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds:
Tears for heroes dressed in grey
No plans for final day
Stay in bed; drift away
That seems to work :D
Headlines tomorrow...
Maxi Rodriguez Breaks Jar Of Marmalade.
I've seen some exciting 0-0 draws over the years and although this match was technically brilliant, neither side showed a lot of bravery. Argentina might have had five shots on target in two hours but I honestly can not even recall a single Dutch shot on target at all. The word "dour" springs to mind here.
If Germany pull out even a single trick from their overflowing bag in the final, then Argentina stand little chance. Today they showed that they were largely without imagination.
We played like Schwach-Gelb (sorry I'm a Schalke fan) in 2010. That was great to watch, but we didn't win a fucking thing. This year I think there's just the right mixture between clinical cynicism and efficiency (against USA, France) and 'hooray football' (against Portugal, Brazil). If we don't make it on Sunday, we'll not make it anytime soon again. The current squad is so much better than the winning teams of '90 and '96.
